SAFFORD – The annual National Victims of Crimes Witness Awareness Week is April 25th-29th. The week will be celebrated locally on Thursday, April 28 at 5 p.m. at the Graham County Courthouse located at 800 W. Main St. in Safford.
The theme for this year’s victim awareness week is “Rights, Access, and Equity for all Victims” and underscores the importance of helping crime survivors find their justice by enforcing victims’ rights, expanding access to services, and ensuring equity and inclusion for all.

We hope that you will join us on Thursday, April 28 at 5 p.m. for a balloon release, and for recognition speeches from various speakers including survivors of crime, victim witness advocates, and the Graham County Attorney.
